I know I can't get warm without a fire but we rarely have one because we've not had wood but this year expecting a really crappy winter, we got wood so now I'm good to go but still not building fires hoping to conserve my wood in case the power goes out. <br /><br />It's nice that you have handy boys who can help you with such things.

The design of the house was such that the stove warmed the whole house, both stories. We chose a gas fireplace for our house her in NM primarily because as I get older I didn't want to mess with hauling wood. You have to make choices as you get older.<br /><br />DanDan and Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528072506443312280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898420772649186550.post-89966799177738225572011-01-14T06:55:39.638-07:002011-01-14T06:55:39.638-07:00Those kids are the best :) Can't believe it to...Those kids are the best :) Can't believe it took so long to get parts.

They referred me directly to the distributor they order from who just happens to live near me. As for repairs, I am so glad I can use my sons! <br /><br />Shirley- yeah, wood stove heat is so much warmer!!Fantastyk Voyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065772565014490544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898420772649186550.post-47564904623350733532011-01-13T20:58:35.826-07:002011-01-13T20:58:35.826-07:00Good job boys!

Two of the three places I called are out of business and maybe the 3rd one is as well, they haven't returned my call. :-(<br /><br />Sometimes I wished my husband was handy and not just good looking...LOL (just kidding).BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.com
